• Abstract:
  The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) administers the INDOT Local Public Agency Program (LPA Program) to provide funds ; to local public agencies for transportation related improvement projects. The funds distributed through this program are federal funds ; and they are provided on a reimbursement basis (i.e., LPAs spend their own money on project related expenses then submit an LPA ; invoice-voucher for reimbursement). LPAs typically receive 80% reimbursement of allowable expenses. ; This project ran concurrent with a number of changes already taking place within INDOT to improve the LPA Program. The purpose of ; this project was to take a systematic look at all the factors impacting the overall length of projects and to find additional ; recommendations to shorten the time from Call for Projects to Letting. In addition, the project also collected feedback from numerous ; stakeholders around Indiana in an attempt to get an early indication on the effectiveness of changes already underway within the LPA ; Program. ; During the initial phase of this project, a series of people with first hand LPA experience were interviewed about specific “good projects” ; (ones that finished on time or nearly on time) and “bad projects” (ones that were cancelled or finished well beyond their originally ; scheduled completion date). Following those initial interviews, a series of interviews were scheduled with LPA stakeholders around the ; state to look for common themes, “pain points,” and improvement ideas. ; This report documents those common themes and lists a series of recommendations to address the pain points shared by the ; stakeholders. The recommendations are a combination of many ideas suggested by the people interviewed as a part of this project and ; discussions of “pain points” analyzed by the interviewers, principal investigator, business owner, and project advisor.
